We're back in blue with a great episode on "Trackdown." Robert Hatch (Tom Zarek, Captain Apollo, Robert Marshall) is our killer of the week and he sure does love what he does. Hooker is an eternal force dating back before the founding of Los Santos. We hope you enjoy and we hope it gels!
Merry Bluemas, Bluesuits! It's a new episode of your favorite T.J. Hooker recap show, Hooked on T.J. Hooked! The episode in question is The Surrogate where Old Teej is trailing a woman killer - specifically he kills women who cheat on their husbands AND listen to a Dr. Ruth-like Radio Sex Show. And guess who gets to have sex with the Dr. Ruth stand in played by Belinda Montgomery? You guessed it - Old Teej. Plus things get steamy between Stacy and Corrigan! Turtle races! Romano not doing anything! Tune in and tune out.
We are back in the squad car and putting Stacy on the streets as bait. We're also learning a lot about the vanished Hooker family! Learn what Fran, Tommy, and Chrissie have been up to! Plus the Mall! Hot dogs! Chinese food! Answering machines! We're firmly in 1985.
Enjoy a brief vacation on Long Island with this 2011 episode on the once popular conspiracy theory: The Montauk Project.
Warning: This episode of 1984 television uses the word "Gypsy" ad nauseam. Due to that, it is in clips and said several times throughout the show. We apologize for any preceived insensitivity. With that in mind, sit back and enjoy Tori Spelling, Delta Burke, and Andrew Jupin on this episode!
We time warp back to this 2013 episode as the squad car receives new shocks.
We got death squad leading mercenaries prowling Los Santos raping and robbing women who use ATMs. Big yikes. So strap into the squad car and let's talk Law and Order SVU style barbarism with a dash of God. Yes, T.J. Hooker obviously knows a priest who is a victim... leading to a confession.
The squad car rides again. Corrigan's brain gets broken and he starts beating people. A serial killer strangler walks the streets of Los Santos. We dredge the depths of the T.J. Past. And there's even mud wrestling. This episode has it all.
We talked about the moon landing and how it's possibly fake on this BIOOS Classic, case file #6901. Come for the illuminating information, stay for the joke references to the 2012 Presidential Election.
Fresh from November 27th, 2012 it's Blame It On Outer Space! Featuring a favorite guest, Justin J. Case discussing if the Government has musicians killed. Could there be more at play here than drugs? Which brand of toilet is best for Americans abroad? And apologies for the negative remarks regarding the Juggalo community, we have since realized these were wrong.

The squad pod car rolls into a banger of an episode, it's Target: Hooker! Old Teej is targeted by a friend of a man he sent up the river.

Reflections on William Shatner riding the Blue Origin to the space and back, what he up to now?
